Fugly

I, along with the rest of America, went shopping earlier today. I know that leggings are back in style, and I cannot quite wrap my mind around that. However, just when I thought that leg-related fashions could not get any worse, I spied Pumptie. What is Pumptie, you ask? Pumptie is a monstrosity of a shoe. It's a shoe/bootie hybrid; it is, in fact, a shootie. Do I have to tell you that I saw a girl wearing very similar shooties along with leggings today? Of course I did. The combination of these shoes, which covered her ankles, and the leggings, which cut her legs right below the calf, made for a major tree trunk leg situation. Delightful! I was busy shaking my head in wonder at this when I spied a teenager wearing leg warmers over flip flops, and then my mind officially exploded.

Actually, my mom's newest fashion adventure is to wear socks, Crocs (which I think win the prize of ugliest trend of all times- even uglier than Uggs), AND (in case you thought that wasn't bad enough) leg warmers that used to be mine back in 1987. I shake my head, but she says it's comfortable.

Amanda-I totally agree. And from reading your "100 things" list, I know we have a shared distaste for leggings....ick.

Est-You know your mom can do no wrong in my eyes, but even she may be pushing it with the legwarmers. Say it ain't so!
